64

Norwegian container tonnage provider MPC Container Ships (MPCC) has taken delivery of the final 5,500 TEU methanol-ready containership from South Korean shipyard HJ Shipbuilding & Construction.

Maiden voyage 

The vessel named Colorado was delivered from the yard on July 18, 2024, and was being prepared for its maiden voyage.

The newest eco-design Colorado was christened and named with its sister vessel Mackenzie at a ceremony held in May this year at the Korean shipyard.

The vessels are designed for conversion to methanol operations, potentially achieving up to 90% emission reductions with “green” methanol. Furthermore, they feature environmentally friendly designs that could reduce fuel consumption by 40%.
